Correct on both counts.Not much time for imelda and absolutely no time for pants.
Invisible really really really growing on me. The more i hear it the better it gets and it is a brilliant part of the show.
There is no them
Edit.........oh yea and 40........ Like a pig in ****
Pants was a bit of craic, a change from the American/Spanish/Italian looker usually brought on

Last night was the best concert I've ever been to! My first U2 gig and I think it's ruined all other gigs for my in the future
Bloody Sunday was the highlight for me, best version of the song I've heard. The video they put on during was fantastic too! I Will Follow, Bad and Bullet the Blue Sky were all amazing as well.0 -
My mate hi fived Noel Gallagher in the standing area. We thought he might be getting up for ''Still havnt found' but he was just a regular punter with us. What a show!!! Best gig I've attended in years.
Bono sand some of the lyrics of Live Forever to something, can't remember what.. had a feeling then that Noel must be in the house then.
He goes to U2 gigs quite a but it would seem..

Great night - the Panti Bliss was a funny cameo , but went on too long - awful dancer too
Imelda May , I don't get - nice girl etc........
Was stuck in a strange sort of corporate section - hard to actually talk to a fan or a local.....
Think I needed to be in standing area.
Bumped into a unreal amount of people I know and had a class night , before, at and after.
I said it to a fan last night, they are sort of a tribute band to themselves - some show - the visuals (who ever does them) is groundbreaking, amazing achievement that U2 have stayed ahead of everyone visually , starting with the genius of ZOO TV.
I think with the age and outrageous pricing , it is a real middle class and higher affair , it isn't really Rock and Roll , one lad said to me , it is just too easy these days, real gigs is about pain - not heading out for a 7.50 pint of piss.
When you would sing randomly - you would get a sort of funny look then a smile, one girl told me I had an unreal voice:P
But - all the corporate sterility and fake facade seems to fall off , when, Where Streets Have No Name comes on - even the sterile corporate dudes around me couldn't suppress their inner person - was class.
I was a little sad - realising , that this may be the last time I see U2 - indoors , still able to do it.
I know there is talk of another big tour - but this is what I wanted from U2 and seems to match where they are ?
With all the stunning visual stimulus - there was something iconic about the I stage, you could see they were trying to go back in time to their start -
I think Belfast was one of the best nights of my life - I genuinely didn't see this coming and didn't think it could be that good.
I think, I was just, in the right place, at the right time, with the right people
A song in that

Well I was sitting on the couch yesterday at 5pm watching the Football results and following this thread. I had been to the gig on Monday and feeling so jealous of you all going to the show. Then a very kind and generous fellow boards member put up that he had a spare paperless for face value. innuendo141 you are such a legend and I would just like to thank you so much for your kindness. I think it is fair to say we had a ball and did boogie all night long. There are still some top guy's out there. Thanks again innuendo141.
I was onto innuendo yesterday - absolute legend of a bloke, I got myself sorted for tickets in end - but he went above and beyond.
Real U2 fans are sound blokes

Sounds like you were in a seated section, surrounded by people who likely got tickets the same way you did, at the same price you did. What makes you think you are any different to those "fake", "middle class", "corporates". By your username, I'm guessing you identify yourself as a golfer, hardly the working man's game!FixdePitchmark wrote: »Had a blast - but the whole point is a bit corporate or something, was serious money in the section I was in. I mean serious.
What in the name of god is a "corporate" anyway? Lads who work in Lidl are working for "corporates".0 -

Agree on all fronts.
But I was there - as only tickets I could get to be honest.
Was mad money - and in them sections the atmosphere is poor - and was with a friend who goes to gigs all the time. He agreed.
By the way - I'm not entirely convinced many of the "vips" pay for their tickets at all - they are on junkets - freebies and favours.
Anyway - that was my experience.
And it was shared by most people I talked to at gig and after.
The place to be, was at front in GA - I wasn't, my own fault.
The ticketing for this gig was a disgrace , price etc. To be honest, most people were priced out of this gig.0 -

Ole o ****ing lay.
I can't help feeling that Bono's tone near the end of the concert was belying his utter regret at having brought that up in the first place 0 -
Oh and I do agree about the €6.50 pints thing. Jaysus.
Was quite near the front last night and it was heartbreaking to see people meander out of the crowd for pints during the interval, naively saying "I'll be back in a minute"... Can't help wondering how many ended up sacrificing their spot close to the band for an overpriced plastic pint

Agreed, its a strange one in the sense that I never think of as a cracking tune but everytime I hear it I love it :rolleyes:
Anyone know what tune it is Bono sings directly before streets this tour?
